We have a never used model X exterior car cover from Tesla which we are willing to give to anyone who can use it. PM me with your address (US or Canada), and we will ship it to you whichever way we find is cheapest. You can send me a check for the postage after you get the cover. You can see...

I've been watching the new Netflix series "Another Life", a futuristic space adventure with one of my favorite actresses as the lead, Katie Sackhoff. In episode three there was a question in a trivia game being played about the orbital time of the "Elon Musk space station". I thought that was...

Today I attended an incoming student’s orientation day event focused on alternative transportation at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California. As part of the Redwood Coast Energy Authority’s EV enthusiast group, I brought my model X to display. Soon after the picture was taken about...

To paraphrase the Fifth Dimension - Up, up, and away in my beautiful, my beautiful, Tesla...We are heading up the Oregon coast for some camping fun. It is great to note that so many of us are doing this these days.

We've had our X for just over 3 years and 37,000 miles, and usually problems are handled here at home by Tesla rangers dispatched from the Bay Area to our home about 300 miles north. This time a problem showed up on our last trip pulling the Airstream to Napa that cannot be fixed at home, so...

I had two unusual problems with my 2016 X. The first dealt with a glitchy driver's side mirror, and the second was focused on the charge port lights. Here is the story - about two weeks ago I noticed that when I opened the driver's side door to get into the car, the driver's side mirror...

We hurt our X yesterday. Illijana was backing over the newly gravelled driveway to pack it down, and drove too close to the log lining our driveway, and caught the fender garnish (yep, that is the part name) with a piece of the log that was sticking out just a bit. We are talking to Tesla to...

On July 4th, Crescent City, CA holds its annual Independence Day parade and fair. This year the Redwood Coast Energy Authority (RCEA) is joining in with an EV display, and yours truly will be participating, bringing my model X to the event, and spending the day talking EVs to folks who stop by...

When Illijana and I were looking for RV's we went to the Portland RV show and thoroughly enjoyed the experience - you can see loads of RV's at good prices and compare them side by side. The show is at the Portland Expo center Thursday Sept. 14th to Sunday Sept. 17th. A discount coupon can be...

A little over a week ago my wife got a dash warning which read "Acceleration reduced" - contact Tesla service at your convenience. We called our Rocklin, CA service center, and we agreed the car should be brought in. They connected us to the San Rafael, CA service center which is a bit closer...

It is that time of year again - Illijana and I are preparing for traveling this summer with our Model X 90D towing our 22 ft Airstream Bambi trailer around the US. Here are a couple of pics from today of the trailer and the X. We just had some grading work done on our yard, and some base rock...

We dropped our X off at the Rocklin, CA, USA service center on Feb. 16th, and received notification that service was completed today. We had a few items that we asked our service techs to check on and repair (loss of driver profiles due to miscalibration of front and rear seats, windshield...

Last Tuesday my wife and I picked up a new 22 ft. long Airstream Bambi Sport trailer at Bay Area Airstream in Fairfield, CA. The GVWR (total weight) of this trailer is 4500 lbs. It is equipped with an equalizer hitch, and we towed it with our X 90D back to our home in Trinidad (far northern...

My wife Illijana and I spent about 5 hours today showing off our Model X, answering questions, and talking Tesla and other electric vehicles at the Eureka, CA street festival in Old Town Eureka today. There were two X's present (sig red X and ours), a Leaf, a Spark, and a P85 S. We must have...

We are about to purchase an Airstream 22ft Bambi Sport (a single axle, 4500 lb GVWR) to tow with our X. It is the trailer that was pulled by the X at the intro. We are thinking about what kind of hitch to prevent sway that we should have. Any opinions from more experienced trailer haulers?

Yep, I'm a waxer. Anyone have any experiences with their Tesla's liking or disliking any of the popular brands? I'm planning on getting some wax at a local store tomorrow, and then practicing my circular motion.
